    A day trip to Ashcrofts

    Hi all,

    I've been sitting on these photos for nearly a year now, not really sure where to post them. But here they are: Ashcroft Transmissions pictures by rschipp - Photobucket

    In Jan this year I was in London on holidays and took a side trip to Luton with my youngest daughter to pick up a CDL kit for my D2. My wife and eldest daughter were in the city shopping... and they spent more than I did.

    Nicole showed us around the workshop:





    And Ian Ashcroft showed me the prototype for the Force9 diff:








    Nicole is the lass on the left next to my daughter Ella:



    We both have a good time at Ashcrofts and my D2 is loving the CDL kit.

    So if your in London and have a spare day then I can recommend a trip to Ashcrofts.

    (I didn't have any weight allowance in my baggage to bring some axles back home, but I did measure my suitcase to be sure that they would fit.)

    Cheers
    Ron

    Hi Ron,

    glad you enjoyed the brief visit, your daughter Ella must have been a bit bored though !!

    You were wise to get out of London, nothing worse than wandering about the shops with your wife spending like fury !

    Thanks Dave,

    It was Ella's choice, got to make the most of these years when everything "dad" does is cool; but yes she was getting a bit bored at the end. I could have spent a few more hours there talking Land Rovers and their transmissions.

    We caught up with the others at Harrods of all places...

    Cheers
    Ron

    I'm envious, I would love to be able to go over and check out what they have and have the money to be able to get what I wanted from them.
